Brian, does your uni let you publish your curriculum = or course notes? Is this something you've ever considered?

Some of the other options I've been looking at
include the VIA APC Rock and Paper, the Phytec
Cosmic, the CubieBoard, the Odroid, the Riotboard,
and the Wandboard.=C2=A0 Has anyone done anything
on porting Plan 9 to any of them?=C2=A0 Are there others
I'm missing that would be good targets for such a class?

Thanks in advance,
